BODY

WHEREAS, this Board desires to accomplish the purposes outlined in the accompanying memorandum, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Florida Statute Section 125.35(2), the Board finds that due to the size, shape, and location of the Property, as legally described in the attached County Deed, it has been determined by this Board that the Property is of use only to one or more adjacent property owners; and

WHEREAS, the Board desires to effectuate a sale of the Property pursuant to Florida Statute Section 125.35(2) to one of the adjacent property owners,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that:

Section 1. The foregoing recitals are incorporated in this resolution and are approved.

Section 2. This Board authorizes the County Mayor or County Mayor’s designee to sell the Property, pursuant to Florida Statute Section 125.35(2), by private sale to an adjacent property owner, or through a competitive bidding process if two or more owners of the adjacent property give notice of their desire to purchase the Property, for no less than $26,028.

Section 3. The Board authorizes the Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson of the Board to execute a County Deed for the purpose described herein, in substantially the form attached hereto, and authorizes the County Mayor or County Mayor’s designee to take all actions necessary to accomplish the conveyance of the Property.

Section 4. Pursuant to Resolution No. R-974-09, the Board directs the County Mayor or County Mayor’s designee to record the instrument of conveyance accepted herein the Public Records of Miami-Dade County, Florida; and to provide a recorded copy of the instrument to the Clerk of the Board within thirty (30) days of execution of said instrument; and directs the Clerk of the Board to attached and permanently store a recorded copy together with this resolution.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve the attached resolution, which authorizes the following:
* Declares as surplus a 2,892 square foot County-owned property, located at the northwest corner of NW 22 Avenue and NW 91 Street (Folio No. 30-3103-031-0101);
* Authorizes the County Mayor or County Mayor’s designee to sell or convey said property in accordance with Florida Statute 125.35(2), which provides for the sale of County property that is not buildable to an adjacent property owner, either through private sale or by competitive bid; and
* Waives Administrative Order 8-4 as it relates to review by the County’s Planning Advisory Board because the property is of insufficient size and shape to be issued a building permit for any type of development on the property.

Scope
The property is located in Commission District 2, which is represented by Commissioner Jean Monestime.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
The sale of this property will eliminate the County’s obligation to maintain the property, which costs approximately $508 per year. Additionally, if placed back on the tax roll, the property can generate approximately $197 in annual ad valorem taxes.

Track Record/Monitoring
Shannon Clark of the Real Estate Development Division in the Internal Services Department is managing the sale of this property.

Delegation of Authority
Authorizes the County Mayor or the County Mayor’s designee to sell the property to one of the adjacent property owners, take all actions necessary to accomplish the sale of the property, and authorizes the Chairwoman or Vice Chair of the Board to execute a County Deed for such purpose.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND

Background
The County acquired the property through Warranty Deed on April 27, 1977. The Internal Services Department circulated the property to all County departments to determine whether the County has a present or future need for the property, in which none was determined. If approved for surplus, the property will be offered for sale to all of the adjacent property owners with a minimum sale amount of $26,028, which represents 100 percent of its 2013 assessed value. The Internal Services Department does not normally request formal appraisals for properties with an assessed value of less than $50,000.
